Learning to apply]
What classes do you teach,
and what is your favorite
class to teach?
I am currently off this term
from teaching due to duties as
chair of the physics depart-
ment, but Iam helping out once
a week with Physics 160: Fresh-
man Honors Mechanics. That
is perhaps my most enjoyable
hour of the week. I help stu-
dents learn how to use comput-
ers to solve interesting physics
problems. Next term, I am
planning a class on the physics
of sports. It will be a real phys-
ics class. Should be fun though.
Why did you choose to teach
at the University and what
is your favorite thing about
being a professor here?
Michigan was starting up a
new Applied Physics program
in 1987. I really liked the multi-
disciplinary aspects of the pro-
gram. Ann Arbor seemed like a
great place to live. It's been 25
years, but seems like yesterday.
I love the size and quality of the
University. Michigan is very
good in every field, sometimes
even the best. There is just far
too much going on at Michigan
to experience it all.
You were recognized for your
excellence in undergraduate
teaching with an Arthur F.
Thurnau Professorship title.
How does this make you feel?
The Thurnau Professorship

Photos of the Week
physics
is a great honor. I very much
enjoyed teaching even before I
became a professor. It is really
nice to be recognized as doinga
good job at it.
Do you have any hidden tal-
ents?
Well, I scuba dive, play hockey
and shoot photography in my
spare time. Talent is a more
difficult question.
What are your plans for this
summer?
My wife and I are going back-
packing for a week on Isle
Royale. We hope to both sur-
vive and see some moose.
